I'm sorry but that is specious, since writing less code is an
attribute
of OOP itself, if you use it right.
There is hard evidence which shows that Chris is right.
[blah blah]
Clearly there is a correlation between the amount of code written and
the number of errors per line of code.
Most likely, but association is not causation. Consider the lurking
variables. Like, for example, bad (and undocumented) APIs cause both
an increase in the amount of code written and the number of errors per
line of code.
Does this have anything to do with anything? Who knows; I have a
killer headache.
